This episode is a dialogue between Amy and Jacob about their living room furniture. The “living room” is the large room where people normally sit on a couch and watch television, talk to each other. They are going to talk about the furniture – the things that they have inside their living room that they use and sit on. They’re going to talk about different types of living room furniture, so it will be a good vocabulary episode. Let’s get started.

Amy: I think rearranging the furniture will make the living room look more spacious. Don’t you?

Jacob: Uh, sure.

Amy: Can you help me move this couch against this wall?
